Comment (by anevilyak):
I've looked into this code and so far I don't really see how it could
cause a hang. Nothing it does while installing itself in Deskbar nor in
its constructor/AttachedToWindow() in any way talks to net_server (all of
it is done via ioctls directly to the network stack at that point), so
that doesn't appear to be the reason it's hanging. When it does
communicate with net_server later, it uses BMessengers which would fail
immediately if net_server isn't actually running. I don't really see any
logical reason for it to block like this unless one of the ioctls is
itself blocking, which would make it more of a kernel/network stack
problem.
